Sacchini, Francis

, a celebrated Jesuit, was born in
1570, in the diocese of Perugia. He was professor of
rhetoric at Rome during several years, and secretary to
his general, Vitelleschi, seven years. He died December
26, 1625, aged 55. His principal works are, “A Continuation of the History of the Jesuits* Society,” begun by
Orlandino. Of this Sacchini wrote the 2d, 3d, 4th, and
5th parts or volumes, fol. 1620 1661. An addition to
the fifth part was made by Jouvency, and the whole completed by Julius Cordara. Perfect copies are very rarely
to be met with. Sacchini was also the author of a small
book judiciously written and much esteemed, entitled “De
ratione Libros cum profectu legendi,” 12mo, at the end
of which is a discourse, “De vitanda Librorum moribus
noxiorum lectione,” which father Sacchini delivered at
Rome in his rhetorical school in 1603. 2
